“Try to identify top goals, personally and professionally and work at them in a way that’s meaningful to you. Don’t drive towards output metrics…focus on what you can control and the other things will play out.” - Raj, Sr. Manager, DC Capacity, AWS

Whoa there peeps! It’s been awhile but we’re back, finally publishing a new episode we recorded over the summer and today we bring you our good buddy, Raj Uparkar, Senior Manager in AWS Data Center Capacity.
Raj’s roles have gravitated towards the highly analytical side. We talked to him about many things including what it takes to be successful (in the long term) at Amazon and what he looks for in new candidates. We also talk about the act of pursuing goals and striving for meaning in the process.
Raj has a great perspective for anybody thinking about their career in tech, no matter where you are on the journey. It’s great to be back and we’re psyched to finally get Raj’s wisdom out into the ether! Please enjoy!
